All 6 Ducatis are thus assigned, while there are two Aprilias and two Yamahas that still do not have a rider. Pramac will have to start from scratch and is aiming to hire experienced riders, because Yamaha currently needs this above all to improve. The first name on the…

We’ve already seen a couple swaps in the past week — plus that out-of-the-blue early-May blockbuster — but the majority of the action will take place in the next 19 days. Today’s MLB front offices tend to wait until the last minute to make decisions of any note, be it with regard to the trade deadline, the non-tender deadline, the Rule 5 protection deadline, etc. Gone are the days of teams planting their flag in the ground in early July or late June — moving the draft to the…
Andrea Locatelli had a lot of fun in Jerez during the Yamaha Racing Experience. Jonathan Rea’s teammate in SBK climbed on, among others, the Yamaha YZR 500 that was Max Biaggi’s in 2001, one of the most beautiful but also one of the meanest bikes in the history of the world championship.

Yet the ‘Loca’ proved to have a great mastery even of means of this type, because in the video posted…

Wimbledon 2024: Scores | Draws | Order of play An emotional Krejcikova paid tribute to Czech great Novotna, who died in 2017, during her Centre Court interview after a come-from-behind win over Elena Rybakina in Thursday’s semifinals. “[Novotna and I] talked about [her] matches here,” Krejcikova added, in her post-match press conference. “It’s been some while since we talked about it, so I can’t really tell you what…

by James Platz When I made the choice to join Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino’s First Turn Stable in June, I did so anticipating there would be highlights and disappointments. In the span of only a few short weeks, I’ve experienced both. Our horse, Fast Feet, collected his first win only days after I joined the group. The 3-year-old had been knocking at the door in previous starts, and finally broke through on June 5. He was rewarded by trainer Patrizio Ancora with a week off. When Fast Feet returned to action June 19, he drew post 9. That’s right,…
